This is not a trip report, per se, so I am posting to the main Amtrak Rail Discussion.
Here is my itinerary:
3/23/03 Amtrak Pacific Surfliner # 780 SBA-LAX(LAUS)
3/23/03 Amtrak Thruway Bus # 8536 LAX-LVS (Greyhound # 6054)
3/25/03 Amtrak Thruway Bus # 8535 LVS-LAX (Greyhound # 6063)
3/25/03 Amtrak Pacific Surfliner # 785 LAX-SBA
There are major construction projects on the I-15 corridor between LA and the state line. The project on the Nevada side has already been completed. The projects are between Victorville and Barstow, and between Baker and Halloran Summit.
These two projects make driving between LA and Vegas an unpleasant experience. A few weeks ago there was a terrible accident involving 2 tour buses in the Halloran Springs area.
We need to write our congress to urge them to to allow Amtrak to begin train service between LA and Vegas. If anyone knows which politicians to contact, give us the info.
We need train service, not buses, between these two cities. Let's get the ball rolling!
